Investigation of Self-Sensing Techniques for Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Self-sensing allows to use a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) simultaneously as an actuator and sensor, without the need of external sensors. DEAs are composed of a dielectric elastomer that is sandwiched between two electrodes. If a voltage difference ...

Sense of self impacts spatial navigation and hexadirectional coding in human entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells in entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space and rely on environmental cues and self-motion cues derived from the individual’s body. Body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self and based on integrate ...

Understanding the footprint of human needs: housing functions as the missing link

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

To respond to the need for a drastic reduction in the environmental footprint of housing, the residential sector must meet a wide range of requirements. The opportunities for architecture are innumerable but cannot be grasped by the discipline alone. Housi ...

Increased functional connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus underlies the attenuation of numerosity estimations for self-generated words

Olaf Blanke, Jevita Potheegadoo, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Giedre Stripeikyte

Previous studies have shown that self-generated stimuli in auditory, visual, and somatosensory domains are attenuated, producing decreased behavioral and neural responses compared to the same stimuli that are externally generated. Yet, whether such attenua ...

Spectral self-imaging of optical orbital angular momentum modes

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Yin Chen, Yujie Chen

The Talbot self-imaging effect is mostly present in the forms of space or time, or in the frequency domain by the Fourier duality. Here, we disclose a new spectral Talbot effect arising in optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. The effect occurs in ...

Liminality, Ephemerality, and Marginality with Impact Makerspaces in the Chinese Urban Fabric: Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Addis Ababa

Monique Stéphanie Bolli

In the last few years, narratives and imaginaries about maker cultures as well as makerspaces have been flourishing in Chinese cities. With its fast-changing pace, the global maker movement expresses unique features in China and integrates aspects of grass ...

Glutamine-to-glutamate ratio in the nucleus accumbens predicts effort-based motivated performance in humans

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Lijing Xin, Gediminas Luksys, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser

Substantial evidence implicates the nucleus accumbens in motivated performance, but very little is known about the neurochemical underpinnings of individual differences in motivation. Here, we applied 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at ultra-hi ...

Lancet: A self-correcting Latency Measuring Tool

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Stephen Xin Mallon

We present LANCET, a self-correcting tool designed to measure the open-loop tail latency of µs-scale datacenter applications with high fan-in connection patterns. LANCET is self-correcting as it relies on online statistical tests to determine situations in ...

Heavy impurity transport in tokamaks with plasma flows and saturated 3D perturbations

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Cristian Sommariva, Samuel Lanthaler, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Eduardo José Lascas Neto

Observations in JET hybrid scenarios show that early termination of the plasma can be caused by tungsten accumulation events, sometimes preceded by large living MHD perturbations [1]. Only recent investigations have been made into understanding the effects ...

Self-imaging of Azimuthal Intensity Petal Based on Orbital Angular Momentum Beams

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu

We demonstrate for the first time azimuthal Talbot effect based on orbital angular momentum beams. The intensity petal is self-imaged in the azimuthal angle. We also draw the analogy between azimuthal and temporal Talbot effect. ...
